As you know, 1UP.com has breathed its last. Such are the vicissitudes of business. Happily, Jose Otero managed to pull together a startling number of former 1UP staff during Game Developers Conference this year for one final podcast. Not everyone was there due to the last-minute nature of this show (or because they had other duties that kept them away), but if you paid any attention at all to the site for the 10 years it lived you're bound to hear some voices you recognize in this three-hour tag-team adventure. Rather than spoil the surprise, though, we'd rather just let you hear the show for yourself.

Thanks for all the years of support. Your enthusiasm for our work fueled these shows, and we very literally couldn't have done it without you. Please enjoy this final gift to you all.

A number of popular apps have already been updated with Apple Watch support on the App Store over the past week, and the approval process is now extended to all members of Apple's Developer Program.

Apple Watch apps, excluding the ones that have already appeared on the App Store, should become available when the wrist-worn device launches on April 24, and a select number of users will be able to access the apps prior to that date.

Understand that I generally do not support boycotts. I suppose that stems from the many knee jerk reactions that various fans have had when I said something they disliked and they announced that they were going to boycott my work, even though my work doesn’t reflect my views. Like the time that I worked on […]
